In the Summer of 2012 Dirk en Trudy Regter from the Netherlands started a journey in their 1915 Ford Model T, visiting over 50 countries covering all the continents of the world.

This journey of approx. 80,000 miles will be made in order to raise money to support the worldwide work of SOS Children's villages International. Your contribution will of course be highly appreciated.
